LiveGadgets.net: Blah, Blah, BlogThe ramblings of a crazed gadget developer.Home Town Girl Does Good- March 24, 2006 Teri Carnright is one of the Remix contest winners. Not to take anything away from her impressive Remix entry, but apparently last week was a slow news week in Chattanooga, TN (her home town). This article appeared explaining all about her contest win. Scott Davis from Microsoft and I were also quoted making the two of us only minor celebrities. So the next time you visit Chattanooga, your list of must sees should include one of my favorites the Incline Railway at Lookout Mountain AND Remix..http://livegadgets.net#blog_37a4e62e-fe42-4b47-9668-a8c887523dca Remix Winners meet at Mix- March 22, 2006 I got a chance to meet the other Remix Mix winners and Scott Davis (the ReMix Mix Master) on Sunday night. T is as cool as she appeared on the mix06 website. Sandra is as quiet as she appeared and just as cool. I understand there are mostly goats and bicycles on her small island in Sweden. Both are very talented individuals. And thanks again Scott for your patience. It was great to have met all of you. Pictured above (L-R): Donavon, Sandra and Teri. Update Here is Teri's blog entry.http://livegadgets.net#blog_34210128-2f05-44d9-b457-8fb27d19e63a The Remix Mix Contest Winners- March 14, 2006 I just got a call from Microsoft about the Remix Mix contest.

I couldn't resist submitting one last remix before the contest ends on March 13th. This one is a sequal of sorts to my Mix'86 submission. It is Windows desktop theme and is titled "Bliss06".http://livegadgets.net#blog_ce32353c-652b-4557-aad6-8ac1c0d80d44 A Comic Book Inspired ReMix Mix Entry- March 6, 2006 I decided to take a stab at submitting another entry in Microsoft's ReMix Mix contest. My latest submission is titled Comix06 (as in "comics"). It is a comic book inspired theme and even includes an animated Bill Gates! Again a vote of 5 stars would be appreciated. And leave me your comments as well. I'd love to hear what you think. Click on the image below to view the entry on Mix06.comhttp://livegadgets.net#blog_51451227-3633-45cf-b045-f1ae765231aa |
